Distinguishing between Common Rail (CR) and Unit Injector (PD)

Applicable to certain Volkswagen AG model series with 2.0 TDI engines

Several Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW model series with 2.0 TDI engines use both CR and PD ("Pumpe-Düse" / Unit injector) technology.

RaceChip chip tuning is specially customised to the applicable fuel injection technology with respect to
both hardware and software. If your vehicle is specified in the list of applicable models below (all other
2.0 TDI models feature just one type of technology), it is important to determine, before choosing a tuning
product, which type of injection technology is installed in your vehicle. For such models, you will
therefore find the “CR” or “PD” designation after your engine code.

If your vehicle is in this list and you are not sure if it is a CR or PD version, then simply follow one of the following steps to identify CR or PD technology.

Using the engine code:

For PD models, the engine code consists of 3 characters, while for CR there are 4 characters. You can find your vehicle’s engine code in the specification sheet in your service booklet or on the data sticker in your engine bay.

Finally an air filter with promise.

K&N supplements RaceChip chip tuning perfectly

Air flow with a standard air filter

K&N air filter – more air flow with higher filtering quality

Air filter tuning in a nutshell: Your engine needs more than 12,000 litres of air to burn a single litre of fuel. K&N car air filters feature patented high-flow technology to help you reach maximum power. They ensure that sufficient air is always available in the best possible quality for optimal combustion. This further increases combustion efficiency, pistons and cylinders have less strain, and the engine sound is noticeable better.

Better performance comes with lower costs. Because K&N car air filters are made of a special cotton weave, they can be cleaned without sacrificing quality.

As the official air filter of the NASCAR series, K&N has gathered one-of-a-kind know-how. K&N guarantees the performance of its air filters for up to 1 million driven miles.

Major features of K&N air filters

More power (1-4 HP) and torque

Exclusive, patented High-Flow technology is used in K&N air filters. It maximises air flow and ensures that the engine is supplied with a maximum amount of air for combustion in all conditions. This creates the ideal air/fuel mix in the cylinder – the result is greater efficiency in your engine and, thus, more power and torque. The performance increase is typically around 1-4 HP.

Improved engine sound

The patented technology in K&N air filters maximises the amount of air that flows through the filter textile. The increased air volume creates a stronger intake sound, which is characteristic of more powerful vehicles. Your engine sounds noticeably fuller and sportier.

Positive fuel consumption benefit

An air filter should supply the greatest amount of clean air possible to your engine for combustion. K&N sport filters provide an extremely effective filtering effect without unnecessarily hindering air flow thanks to their special construction. This lowers friction losses in the movement of the pistons and improves the air/fuel mix in the cylinder. This leads to improved efficiency levels and, as a result, to lower fuel consumption.

1 million mile warranty

The global market leader K&N provides a “Million-Mile Limited Warranty“ for all of its car air filters. This warranty demonstrates the premium nature of K&N filters. They last a vehicle's lifetime.

Low maintenance costs

K&N car air filters consist of a specially processed, oiled cotton textile that is arranged between an aluminium wire mesh. Thanks to the special treatment the textile can be easily washed with K&N cleaner and air filter oil (or with similar products). This means the air filter can be used again and again without any quality losses. This dramatically lowers maintenance costs.

Easy self-installation in 5 minutes

You don't need any specialist skills to remove your old air filter and install a new K&N car air filter. You can finish the replacement with a few simple steps in a couple of minutes.

The innovative XLR

The Brainbox – the nerve centre

The Brainbox monitors and controls all the processes involved in optimising throttle response.

Included in all configurations.

RaceChip XLR can be controlled conventionally using a newly designed Controller which is connected by wire to the Brainbox. The driver can use the Controller to select any of the tuning stages at any time.

7 separate tuning stages

Fast, intuitive operation

LED display

Included in this option: Brainbox + Controller

Control option 2: App

RaceChip offers you the option of controlling XLR right from the RaceChip app running on your smartphone. RaceChip XLR communicates with your phone via Bluetooth.

An app ahead with RaceChip

Bringing innovation to the streets

As one of the first international chip tuning companies, RaceChip has developed a combination of chip tuning and app. This lets you customise your vehicle's performance characteristics like never before. The combination of chip and app works easily via Bluetooth or your smartphone.

You can download and get to know the RaceChip app for free. With Ultimate Connect, you can utilise this amazing extra function for just EUR N/A GBP more than the Ultimate option.

Most important features of the RaceChip app

Choose from 3 performance levels

The central function of the Racechip app is to adjust the increased power activated through Ultimate according to your needs in various driving situations. With your smartphone, you can switch between three performance levels created especially for your vehicle: Efficiency, Sport and Race. From gliding around bends in Efficiency mode to enjoying the limits in Race mode – The RaceChip Aapp and Ultimate Connect always allow you to experience power at the push of a buttonset your vehicle's performance mode

Easily restore to series condition

The RaceChip App allows you to return y to restore your vehicle to its original series condition via your smartphone. We have to admit: those who have experienced the boosted performance of RaceChip will probably rarely use this function.

Warm-up Timer

The integrated warm-up timer allows you to set the warm-up phase for your engine before releasing the added power through Ultimate Connect. This allows you to ensure that engine tuning only generates more power once the engine has reached operating temperature.

Comprehensive support

The RaceChip app gives you new opportunities to utilise RaceChip's know-how. If you wish to change the settings specially crafted for your vehicle, the new settings are loaded via update in the app and are then transferred to the Ultimate Connect. What was impossible before is now very simple – you just tune your tuning module.

Automatic updates

So you always have the latest and best software version on your RaceChip.

Useful extra features

The app automatically pulls up all vehicle-specific data from RaceChip servers and saves them on your smartphone. You can also create a personal vehicle profile.

Difficult installation

The installation in your car is unfortunately somewhat more difficult. With our installation instructions however, you will have the perfect guide. You will be led step-by-step through the installation.

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support at any time. In extreme cases, we recommend having the installation performed in a workshop.

Compatible smartphones

Apple operating system

The RaceChip app is compatible with all Apple smartphones and tablets supporting Bluetooth 4.0 and running iOS 7.0 or later.

Because of various specifications among Android smartphone makers, the RaceChip Ultimate Connect cannot be paired with the RaceChip app for the following devices:

HTC and Sony devices running Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

Some devices with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) without an update to Android 6.0.1 (Security Patch 01.10.2016) do not allow for a connection with the module at the moment.

Distinguishing between Common Rail (CR) and Unit Injector (PD)

Applicable to certain Volkswagen AG model series with 2.0 TDI engines

Several Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW model series with 2.0 TDI engines use both CR and PD ("Pumpe-Düse" / Unit injector) technology.

RaceChip chip tuning is specially customised to the applicable fuel injection technology with respect to
both hardware and software. If your vehicle is specified in the list of applicable models below (all other
2.0 TDI models feature just one type of technology), it is important to determine, before choosing a tuning
product, which type of injection technology is installed in your vehicle. For such models, you will
therefore find the “CR” or “PD” designation after your engine code.

If your vehicle is in this list and you are not sure if it is a CR or PD version, then simply follow one of the following steps to identify CR or PD technology.

Using the engine code:

For PD models, the engine code consists of 3 characters, while for CR there are 4 characters. You can find your vehicle’s engine code in the specification sheet in your service booklet or on the data sticker in your engine bay.

Better throttle response

We developed RaceChip XLR to increase responsiveness on the road. Your engine’s performance isn’t affected by RaceChip XLR, but you can access it more immediately and directly. Experience significantly sharper responses for yourself – no waiting for the message to get through or frustrating hesitations.

7 separate stages

2 Sport (S, S+) and 2 Race stages (R, R+) sharpen throttle response, speeding up the engine’s reaction times, making it as reactive as even a sportscar’s.

2 Eco stages (E, E+) slow down the engine’s reaction to movements of the throttle. In heavy city traffic and on long journeys, this can help you reduce fuel consumption.

You can select N if don’t want or need to use XLR, and your car is back to stock tune.

Easy to install

Simple and easy to understand – installed in a few steps:

Unplug the wire from the throttle at the connector.

Connect the Brainbox to the connector/adaptor.

Mount the Brainbox on a smooth surface in the footwell.

To control XLR: connect the Controller with the Brainbox, or set up the RaceChip app.

Done! Now – go drive and enjoy!

Perfect add on to chiptuning

You can experience totally new driving sensations if you combine RaceChip XLR with one of our chip tuning modules. The extra power and torque that chip tuning brings is perfectly complemented by the immediate throttle response made possible by throttle tuning. Together, they push back the limits of driving enjoyment.

Optional (30 GBP): app control

RaceChip is the first company to offer throttle tuning together with app control. The combination gives you the easiest ever way of controlling your vehicle’s throttle response. RaceChip XLR connects directly with the RaceChip app on your smartphone via Bluetooth.

If you already have a RaceChip chip tuning module in your car, XLR is the perfect add-on, and using them together is even easier – you can control both modules from the driver’s smartphone using the same app.
